I was wolf-whistled, nearly flashed my privates and couldn’t go the loo when I wore a metallic duct tape ‘bikini’
Brave Fabulous Digital reporter Deni Kirkova taped up for a day out at St Kilda beach in Melbourne
THOUGHT glitter boobs were this summer’s most daring trend? Well, models have been taking to the beach, pool parties and Coachella wearing nothing but strategically-placed metallic duct tape over their nipples and privates.
The fearless look is the latest brainchild of Joel Alvarez, a designer from Miami, who owns an “artistic” venture called the Black Tape Project.
STICKING OUT: HOW TO ROCK THE DUCT TAPE LOOK
Make-up artist Julia reveals how she created Deni’s eye-catching look:
“The look is surprisingly wearable – if you’ve got an amazing body and the guts.
“It’s all about angles and symmetry. You do have to take your time so the angles match.
“It’s about not overthinking it. Anything goes.
“I started on the boobs and then moved down to the bum area.
“To get it off you could just rip it or if that’s too painful I’d recommend sitting in a hot bath and letting it peel away.
“The tape costs £19-£38 and the brand ships internationally.
“I think it will be popular come festival season. You could use different coloured tape, glitter and body paint for a real eye-catching look.”
They claim their unusual fashion “outfits” combine one of the most common household items with the beauty of the human body.
And the tape art movement has certainly not gone unnoticed online.
The company’s page boasts over 86,000 followers who flock to see images of nude women partially covered in tape designs.
The company recently shared a video clip featuring a beautiful model taking a dip in the sea with nothing but the glittering gold design covering her modesty.
